A heart-breaking video of a doctor from Saudi Arabia stopping his son from hugging him is making its rounds on social media.
The six-second clip shared by Twitter user Mike saw the doctor coming home after work, still in his scrubs. His young son ran towards him with open arms to give him a hug, but his father immediately stopped him and gestured for him to keep a distance.
The doctor immediately knelt to the ground and broke down into tears, as he had to keep himself away from his loved ones.
The video went viral on Twitter, leaving many social media users emotional. “This hurts the heart to watch. That doctor is such a hero,” one Twitter user wrote.
“What a toll this virus and stress must take on those at the battlefront. Social distancing when we most need a hug,” another commented.

The doctor may be wrong in touching his face, but...

This is the purest emotional love between the little kid (who does not know much about the seriousness of the issue) and the father (who just realized the seriousness). His only concern at that time, is to safe guard his son.
This hurts the heart to watch. That doctor is such a hero.
